Chapter 1090: The Despairing Galactic Republic (Part 2)
1089. The Despairing Galactic Republic (Part 2)
"We...will definitely win." When Master Windu said these words , I feel unspeakably uncomfortable, because these words are equivalent to juxtaposing him with a Sith Lord, and then I have to comfort him and encourage him?
Immediately, Master Windu took a deep breath and established a line of defense called 'Everything for the Republic' deep in his heart, and then said: "In our battle in the Delon Galaxy, a large number of After destroying the separatist warships, our mobile fleet will have an absolute advantage. This war is far from being decided."
Palpatine shook his head and said: "We can. Defeat the Separatist fleet, then what? In fact, we all know that Master Yoda should be the winner in the Model Sector."
Master Windu's expression changed, he knew what Palpatine wanted to say.
“We don’t have the power to occupy those planets. Although the Military Creation Act allowed us to recruit billions of soldiers, these soldiers can only guard their respective planets and are not equipped to fight in an offensive battle. The possibility of defeating the robot army." Palpatine indeed brought the topic in this direction, "The interruption of the supply of clone soldiers is the most fatal result for us. I can't think of how we can win. "
Master Windu said: "Now we have 2.4 million clone soldiers deployed on the front line. If we make good use of them, we can still push the front line to the outer ring star area. This is to maintain the unity of the Galactic Republic. , not recognizing the separatist regime should be our bottom line."
"In the Model Sector, Master Yoda won every battle, but in the end, he had to. Get out of there and lose your troops." Palpatine said, "The separatists are taking advantage of our kindness, and our kindness brings sacrifices to our soldiers at all levels. This should not be the case."
He continued, "On the planet Eriadu, billions of people have starved to death due to the separatist siege. Billions of people! This is equivalent to the population of a medium-sized planet, starving to death like this. Die! Should this be done?”
"So, you should have come to a conclusion, right? Mr. Speaker." Master Windu's face darkened.
"Restricted orbital bombing targeting military targets should be allowed. This is the best way I can think of." Palpatine admitted very calmly.
"Orbital bombing exceeding the rated power will cause irreversible damage to the planet's atmosphere." Master Windu said coldly.
"We can no longer win this war 'cleanly', I think you should understand." Palpatine said, "I will push for the implementation of this bill in the near future, which will liberalize There are restrictions on the orbital bombing of the frontline fleet, and in order to ensure that the orbital bombing is controlled within a safe range, I hope that a Jedi must be present during the bombing to supervise that the bombing will not exceed the limit."
< br>"What are you talking about! Are you asking the Jedi to give the order for orbital bombing?!" Master Windu suddenly became furious. He did not draw his sword immediately because it was the greatest restraint.
"It is naturally possible to let the Republic Navy generals issue this order." Palpatine just smiled slightly, "Moreover, if the Jedi who are commanding the battle think that the battle situation allows it, there is no need to carry out orbital bombing, right? I am very concerned about this. The Jedi Order has always maintained the greatest trust. The switch is in your hands..."
Master Windu tried his best to suppress his anger, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Then, you. Are you going to confirm that this bill will be passed? Mr. Speaker, how much control do you have over the parliament?”
“According to the calculation, I should definitely get a majority of votes on this bill.” Elpatin still maintained a kind smile, "As for control, oh no, that doesn't exist. From the beginning to the end, all I have is an innocent heart, and I am very lucky that my ideas can be supported by many congressmen. Support."
"Then how can you guarantee that you will return power to the people after the war is over?" Master Windu asked fiercely.
"We are still very far away from victory, Master Windu, very, far away..." Palpatine said seriously, "Because this war can only end with the victory of the Galactic Republic. I believe, Under the leadership of the Jedi Order, this day will come, and I will provide you with all the support I can on the Council, and then I will naturally give up all my power on the Council of the Galactic Republic." Master Windu. Staring into Palpatine's eyes, the latter just stared at him as calmly as water, without any fear or any feeling of guilt.
Immediately, Master Windu turned around suddenly and walked out of the control center.
A civilian employee who accidentally blocked his path was pushed away by him and fell to the ground.
Windu walked quickly, the anger in his heart could not be increased, and besides the anger, there was even... despair.
At the same time, in the Jedi Temple, Master Yoda opened his eyes, stood up and looked in the direction of the Supreme Strategic Command building. He felt the despair deep in Master Windu's heart. He felt extremely heavy. , clutching his chest and slowly shaking his head, muttering to himself, "...the last hope, maybe you are. Obi-Wan Kenobi."
...
At this moment, the Federation of Independent Systems is immersed in a short, crazy gluttonous feast.
After Sothrob Company, Castel Planet, Salest Planet, and the Free Dark Volunteer Engineering Corps successively broke away from the business guild, this once prosperous corporate giant almost overnight It went into decline.
Most of its factories are supervised by the Confederation of Independent Systems, and the previous poison pill plan carried out to resist the takeover also plunged the business guild's own operations into chaos.
The so-called poison pill plan is a plan that is used by a company to harm others and not benefit itself when it faces a hostile takeover. In short, it is to expand its non-performing assets, increase the cost of the takeover, and reduce the benefits of the takeover, thereby forcibly preventing it. acquisition.
And once this begins, it means that the commercial guild will never return to the top corporate giant it once was.
But Tang Xiao, Count Dooku, Thorn Hill, Newt Gunray and others did not intend to let her go.
Thorg Vosadi Begin the Hutt was assassinated in his lair in Nar Shaddaa. The assassin left no trace, except for a small hole in his chest, but his heart. There was nothing but Bei Jin's body that had been smashed into pieces.
Shu Mai has been colluding with Bei Jin for a long time. Through him, he conducts a large number of slave trade and black market smuggling trade, making huge profits, and also gets the support of the Hutts. Now that Bei Jin is dead, those around him immediately take action.
A feast to dismember the business guilds has officially begun!
